Why is China's traditional culture profound and has a long history?
There are three main reasons, which are summarized as follows:

1. Chinese civilization has a long history and is the longest-lasting civilization in the world.

China culture has a long history, which originated from Chinese civilization. From ancient times to Qin and Han Dynasties, it created culture for China people and developed continuously. After the Han Dynasty, the north was invaded and ruled by foreigners for many times, and was influenced by people who ruled China, such as Xianbei, Mongolia and Manchuria. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, a large number of western cultures were introduced through the Silk Road. China culture has been declining since the end of the Han Dynasty.

It has a long history, although it came into being about 1000 to 2000 years later than the ancient civilizations of ancient Egypt, Babylon and ancient India. Although the rulers of various dynasties in China changed many nationalities, Chinese culture has continued, so Chinese culture is one of the ancient cultures that have continued to this day. It is widely spread in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and its influence includes political consciousness, ideology and religion, education and life culture. Its cultural concept is also called "Chinese culture" and "Chinese cultural circle".

Chinese civilization, also known as Huaxia civilization, is one of the oldest civilizations in the world and the longest-lasting civilization in the world. Chinese civilization has a long history, which is 5000 years from the era of the Yellow Emperor. Some scholars have pointed out that the Chinese nation has "300,000 years of national roots, 10,000 years of civilization history and 5,000 years of national history". It is universally acknowledged that China is one of the oldest ancient civilizations. It is generally believed that there are many direct sources of Chinese civilization, among which the Yellow River civilization and the Yangtze River civilization are the main ones. Chinese civilization is the result of the exchange, integration and sublimation of various regional civilizations, which is generally called "multi-source integration" in academic circles.

2. Chinese culture is the cultural confluence of all ethnic groups in China (that is, the Chinese nation), with rich connotations.

People's Republic of China (PRC) defined Chinese culture as the cultural confluence of all ethnic groups in China, but as the Han nationality is the main ethnic group of the Chinese nation, Chinese culture has always occupied an absolute dominant position in the history of China, so Chinese culture is the main body of Chinese culture. China culture generally recognized by the outside world is basically China culture.

3. The cultural system is unique and has far-reaching influence on the world.

China culture has not only exerted an important influence on Japan and the Korean Peninsula, but also exerted a far-reaching influence on countries in Southeast Asia, South Asia and even America, such as Viet Nam and Singapore. China's developed shipbuilding technology, navigation technology and compass technology were first applied to navigation, forming the so-called blue civilization and Pacific Rim cultural circle (Li Er and China waterway history); Zheng He's seven voyages to the West deepened the spread and radiation of this culture, thus forming an East Asian cultural circle centered on Chinese culture. With the prosperity of China's national strength and the improvement of its international status, all countries in the world, including Eurasia, highly recognize and attach importance to China culture.

China's traditional culture is the fundamental creativity of the achievements of Chinese civilization, and it is the sum total of moral inheritance, various cultural ideas and spiritual concepts in national history. China's traditional culture is the sum total of political, economic, ideological, artistic and other material and intangible cultures that have lasted for about 5,000 years in China. China's traditional culture, also known as Chinese culture and Chinese civilization, is the leader of China's excellent culture for 5,000 years. However, it has a long history and is widely distributed. Culture is a description of the natural laws of the universe, and culture is an extension of morality. Culture is nature, culture is life and life is culture; Culture is soft power and the internal driving force that determines everything; Culture is the social ideology, the ideological spirit of the Chinese nation and the foundation of social politics and economy.
